You guys bailing on me for the meet tomorrow in Austin, MN?

Weatherman is always WRONG! It was supposed to rain pretty much all day today as well....and it's looking beautiful to me!

Tomorrow looks good up until later in the evening...like 9pm or after. The meet starts at 3pm and I'll probably stick around for a few hours before heading out. I'm still planning on going though!

I'm still down, dont know who else still is. Storms are supposed to be scattered so not too worried about them.

I started with the install and it didn't look to bad just need to pick up some pb blaster. From my research most people said it took them 4 hours from start to finish.

I'm still down as long as were not going to get storms during the day. I will be checking the weather today so who's all going down to Rochester. What time where do we meet to cruise to Rochester?

Well in a perfect world yes it would probably take you four hours in fact it probably take you less if Joe would give you pointers because it took me when I started and finished the first time about 5 1/2 hours six. The biggest problem is that Bolton gets arrested out you might need to break it and you need to have a bolt to replace on the front lower control arm. Good luck

What time are you guys coming into Rochester? Are you going to want to do lunch or anything? If so, I can post up a place to meet for lunch.

I'll probably want to leave Rochester to head to Austin by like 1:30pm or so. That way I'll have a bit of time to clean up the car from the drive.

Let me know what you guys think.

Good place to eat if we want to do lunch would be...

Whistle Binkies on the Lake
247 Woodlake Dr, Rochester, MN

I could meet you guys there around Noon or 12:30 if you wanted.

That sounds good but depends on if the weather is getting worse or not. I tend to not listen to the stupid weatherman anymore. It's supposed to be isolated storms down there later. With this bipolar weather and my luck, we'd probably get caught up in one of those isolated storms, lol. We'll know after Jorge is done with church, we'll most likely be leaving around 11am from here.

I lost my front lip half way down to Rochester due to windy ass weather and because of improper mounting according to Jorge, LOL. Even though it's been to brainerd and Wisconsin all summer with no issues. I guess those brackets have been coming loose over time and finally gave out to the high winds and high speed.

Wassup gents & gals,

I'm from Shakopee MN. And bought me a 2013 acura tl sh-awd CPB, saw this thread and had to poke my head in. Would love to hear some tips and tricks to making my ride look better! Right now, I got my tints on at 35%, I wanted it at 30% but driving around EP and Minneapolis is kind of risky. I'm also saving money up to get my Vertini Dynasty wheels also. And getting my front grille and back trim wrapped. Anything else guys? Besides dropping.

Thanks guys!

Headlights are always a fun mod. Buy some TSX-r clear lenses, 66240 CBI bulbs and paint the inside any color scheme you'd like.

Did we figure out what we are going to be doing this meet?

I say depends on what you're looking for if you looking for power again if you're looking for suspension or if you're looking for aesthetics there's a lot you can do what do you have in mind. Maybe you can come to our me when we get together on the 29th and see what everybody's done to their cars. All are always welcome to our meets no matter what you drive.

I've decided to go a new route, everything for a 07 front conversion is well over a grand. Not going to spend that much on this car anymore. Going with this now, we'll see how it turns out, might have to raise the car up a little though :/

Hey there takata,

I'm looking towards just look at the moment. Having different lights, overlays, roof spoiler, painted caliper, new wheels. I think those are a good start. I'm getting my front grille and back trim wrap this month so that will be sweet.

I'd be down for that. I wish I had a GoPro for the cruise but I'll have to use my digi-cam for everything.

I'm down for that as well. Where do we want to meet to kick off the day? Meet at someone's house, park, or we can just meet at the actual place for lunch.

Thoughts?

Had a great time today and card and coffee and it was an awesome Cruise with the Minnesota BMW. Good to see Makana and almost saw Joe hopefully will get to see each other again soon. Got to meet a couple of Acura guys that might be coming to our meet on the 28th hoping everybody can make it.
